Do You Raise the Vibration in a Conversation or Lower it? I believe, many people are choosing to look at life differently than what we've traditionally been told is the way to live our lives. I tend to be a very optimistic person. However, it takes a fair amount of work at times. When I'm faced with things that other people think are impossible, very often I will just ignore what people say, defy ordinary logic and just go ahead and do it. Recently, I was at an event and one of the networking exercises was to explain a little bit about our business, and share a few words about ourselves. In addition, one of the women talked about how a smile makes such a difference in the world. That you never know how it will affect someone. Possibly, it could make a huge difference in an otherwise very drab or sad day for someone. Then, one of the women spoke up in response by talking about how she felt sorry for all the young people in the world who are so hooked on their phones. She said that everybody goes out for dinner, has their phone out, and nobody converses. The positive energy that existed around the table, immediately, turned negative. Within a second of her comment, the six other women at the table shared a negative story about cell phones and social media. That first negative comment destroyed the energetic and vibrant atmosphere around the table. If Attitude is Everything, How Important is It? Dismayed at the change of energy, it reminded me of a story about one of my first job interviews when I was fresh out of design school. One evening I ended up at a restaurant with a group of people I barely knew. I felt uncomfortable conversing with anyone because, I was extremely introverted. The man sitting next to me, grouchy and uninterested in being there, did not smile and was not participating in any conversations. My goal decided, before the end of the evening, I would have this man enjoying himself. Our exchange, difficult at first, became relaxed and entertaining over the course of the meal. Dinner came to an end and mission accomplished. Smiling and laughing, he had thoroughly appreciated the company and the food. Feeling great that I had made a small difference in this man's life, we parted company. I never expected to see him again. The next day I had a job interview with a fashion design company. Nervously, I went in and spoke with the employer. After a few minutes, he said, “Okay, here is a diagram of a pair of pants. Make the pattern for them. You have half an hour. When you're done, bring it back we will decide if you're skilled enough for us to hire.” Half an hour later, I handed him the pattern. In the office, there was a man standing with his back to me. I had a short conversation with the gentleman who hopefully would hire me. Suddenly, the other man turned around. Recognizing him from dinner the night before, we both laughed. That encounter changed the whole course of the interview. As a silent partner in the business, he offered me the job on the spot. Synchronicity, absolutely, however had I not gone out of my way to brighten his experience the night before, I would have been just another applicant. A long story to make a very short point. The energy we put out, draw experiences and opportunities into our lives. Attitude is everything. That is the stance I'm taking with my health, as well. I believe that I can heal without traditional therapy. I am planning to walk the Camino again in celebration of full healing. We choose our beliefs which become our actions and create our results. Do you actually have the luxury of a negative thought?

Fear affects every area of your life. A 90 Day Fitness Challenge inspired me to say “fuck cancer”, I live my life on my terms. Last year, challenged me emotionally, physically and mentally. Until October, the thought of dying was with me daily. I was sure my trip to France in August would be the last time I would see my daughters, sons-in-law and 6 grandchildren. Even Without Chemo, Radiation and Surgery, Your Body Changes The changes in my body, from extreme weight loss to hair loss, devastated me. Tumors utilize so much energy there is nothing left to nourish the body, for anything other than the absolute necessities for life. In March, I dropped to 110 pounds and cried uncontrollably. The impossibility of gaining the weight back frustrated me. In previous years, when trying to lose weight, I would eat about 1100 calories and would drop about 2 pounds a week. When I hit 101 pounds in the third week of August, the fear was intense. I was eating 3000 calories a day and barely able to maintain my weight. It seemed all I did was eat, sleep or do my alternative therapies. I did not realize how I looked until my granddaughter took a photo of me and from then on very few pictures were allowed. I just could not face the changes. Taking Control of Your Emotions The biggest challenge, controlling my emotions, required the most effort. I felt there was no future and the inspiration to work or socialize disappeared. The diagnosis was not something I shared with many people. In fact, there are extended family members and friends that still don’t know. I educated myself on the vast number of alternative therapies available. I tried everything and continued to watch YouTube videos that shared other people’s experiences in healing themselves naturally. Every day, people with stage 3 and stage cancers are seeing results without the cut, burn and poison of traditional medicine. The drawback, when you opt out of traditional treatment, is that available cash disappears very quickly. I chose to sell my house and use some of the money to fund my return to health. Make a Decision to Live Now When I decided that the cancer was just a “little inconvenience”, the fear subsided bit by bit. Believing makes healing possible, as has been proven medically with the placebo effect. Joy returned. I started dressing up, took the time to do my hair and makeup and began socializing with friends again. On a side note - Years ago, I had a surgery that required several nights in the hospital. Back then the first thing I did was do my hair and makeup, even if I was in the hospital. The day after the operation, the surgeon came in and saw me with my skin care, brushes and color products. She smiled and said, “I guess we can let you go home today.” In shock, I asked why. She responded, “When women take time for personal care, they are generally feeling well enough to be discharged.” Why a 90 Day Fitness Challenge? I will live and I will walk the Camino again in celebration of my restored health. By focusing on the future, I give myself permission to enjoy life rather than just exist. Exercise helps with oxygenation of the tissues, something that the “little inconvenience” does not like. With the lack of activity over the last year, my muscle mass has reduced dramatically. The Camino challenges peregrinos daily which necessitates rebuilding my body. Completing the trip from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Finisterre requires a high level of fitness and I plan to walk with joy and ease. Benefits of the 90 Day Fitness Challenge • Renewed self esteem • Healing myself, gives others the courage to reject harmful chemotherapy and radiation • One of the items in my 65 by 65 Project is to wear a bikini on a beautiful Mediterranean beach. • More energy to achieve in other areas of my life • Inspiration to women of my age who feel they are too old or too sick to look and feel good • Attitude is Everything - it improves when focusing on the positive • Vibrant health that permits me to do the activities I love • Spending more time with and playing with my family and friends for many years to come 90 Day Fitness Challenge Updates Please, bookmark my blog for updates.

When I decided not to use conventional therapies (chemo, radiation or surgery), I became my own guinea pig. I have tried everything including medical marijuana in the form of Phoenix Tears, naturopathic treatments, infared saunas, alkaline water, hyperthermia, Gerson therapy with with 13 fresh pressed juices daily, veganism, and a multitude of others things. However, even eating 3000 calories a day I kept losing weight. In high school I weighed about 125 pounds. When the scale showed 110, I cried. Being that thin devastated me. THe weight loss did not stop there. Before I went to France, in the summer, I was down to 101 pounds. At 5'6", I looked emaciated. I don't go to doctors for anything other than blood tests to check my markers because I know, there is nothing that they can give me that I haven't already rejected. The last time I saw the oncologist, he remarked that I shouldn't be there. Puzzled, I asked why and he said he was surprised to see me albeit thin, but happy and energetic. He felt the prognosis had not been good when I was diagnosed and felt I should have had conventional therapy. He checked my lymph nodes which were fine and said, "Have a good time in France and come back for blood work when you get back." When I got back to Canada, the hunt was on to figure out a new routine that would help me gain weight and reduce the size of the tumor naturally. Intermittent Fasting and a High Fat Ketogenic Diet What works best for me, right now, is intermittent fasting (22 hours of fasting and a 2 hour eating window), along with a high fat diet consisting 10% carbs, 10% protein and 80% fat. Vegetables and fruits contain very little fat, with the exception of avocados and coconut oil, which I have been eating constantly. I have had to add some salmon, eggs and cheese to get the required macros. Animal protein is inflammatory, so that is a bit of a problem. When I get up to 110, I water fast for 3 days to ramp up the ketosis. The reasoning behind this is that tumors need glucose and fasting and a high fat diet put you into ketosis. The body and brain work beautifully on ketones but cancer does not. The diet works and instead of having to eat 3000 calories a day to maintain my weight, I can eat 1750 and maintain or gain a little. However, I still felt I needed something else for the inflammation. Omnium1 PEMF System Enter a new technology, (to me, anyway), PEMF. I now have a way of dealing with the inflammation. PEMF has been around for many years and was developed by NASA to help astronauts dealing with the gravity free environment in space. It a low frequency, pulsating electrical field. I heard about it quite awhile ago but it did not make sense to me at the time. A friend lent me a PEMF mat to try for five days and I felt the results immediately. Research and testing has been done on this modality and the results are impressive. My insomnia and kidney pain disappeared. Along with the high fat diet, intermittent fasting and the PEMF, the tumor is becoming necrotic! So excited. In my mind, I am 100% healthy and am just waiting for my body to catch up with my reality! Check out the Omnium1 System I am using. Yes, it is expensive. However, a long life has far more value to me than the money and I feel fantastic.

When I decided not to use conventional therapies (chemo, radiation or surgery), I became my own guinea pig. I have tried everything including medical marijuana in the form of Phoenix Tears, naturopathic treatments, infared saunas, alkaline water, hyperthermia, Gerson therapy with with 13 fresh pressed juices daily, veganism, and a multitude of others things. However, even eating 3000 calories a day I kept losing weight. In high school I weighed about 125 pounds. When the scale showed 110, I cried. Being that thin devastated me. THe weight loss did not stop there. Before I went to France, in the summer, I was down to 101 pounds. At 5'6", I looked emaciated. I don't go to doctors for anything other than blood tests to check my markers because I know, there is nothing that they can give me that I haven't already rejected. The last time I saw the oncologist, he remarked that I shouldn't be there. Puzzled, I asked why and he said he was surprised to see me albeit thin, but happy and energetic. He felt the prognosis had not been good when I was diagnosed and felt I should have had conventional therapy. He checked my lymph nodes which were fine and said, "Have a good time in France and come back for blood work when you get back." When I got back to Canada, the hunt was on to figure out a new routine that would help me gain weight and reduce the size of the tumor naturally. Intermittent Fasting and a High Fat Ketogenic Diet What works best for me, right now, is intermittent fasting (22 hours of fasting and a 2 hour eating window), along with a high fat diet consisting 10% carbs, 10% protein and 80% fat. Vegetables and fruits contain very little fat, with the exception of avocados and coconut oil, which I have been eating constantly. I have had to add some salmon, eggs and cheese to get the required macros. Animal protein is inflammatory, so that is a bit of a problem. When I get up to 110, I water fast for 3 days to ramp up the ketosis. The reasoning behind this is that tumors need glucose and fasting and a high fat diet put you into ketosis. The body and brain work beautifully on ketones but cancer does not. The diet works and instead of having to eat 3000 calories a day to maintain my weight, I can eat 1750 and maintain or gain a little. However, I still felt I needed something else for the inflammation. Omnium1 PEMF System Enter a new technology, (to me, anyway), PEMF. I now have a way of dealing with the inflammation. PEMF has been around for many years and was developed by NASA to help astronauts dealing with the gravity free environment in space. It a low frequency, pulsating electrical field. I heard about it quite awhile ago but it did not make sense to me at the time. A friend lent me a PEMF mat to try for five days and I felt the results immediately. Research and testing has been done on this modality and the results are impressive. My insomnia and kidney pain disappeared. Along with the high fat diet, intermittent fasting and the PEMF, the tumor is becoming necrotic! So excited. In my mind, I am 100% healthy and am just waiting for my body to catch up with my reality!

Have you ever noticed that in conversations, often it is not about ideas, thoughts and strategies, it's about other people or it's about complaints. Unfortunately, many people prefer a victim mentality. What do you do with these people and/or how do you relate to them? Do you stay in communication with them? You have to look, I believe, at the greater good. What is the value of staying in the relationship? What is the value of ending it? People tend to congregate around others who share comparable ideas and values. Many haven't learned, yet, that they attract people similar to themselves into their lives. Typically because it is human nature to like consistency, not much changes in daily interaction between friends. We choose the same seats when we go to our favourite coffee shop. We drive the same way to work every day. We don't like surprises. Use these people and situations as an informative experience. By being aware, we can learn to adjust or direct the flow of what is going on or what is being said. Possibly, we can can even stop the situation before it escalates. We can work on changing those qualities about ourselves which are obviously a trigger for these situations and analyze what we could do to ameliorate the situation. Try looking at a negative event from a different perspective. Ask, "What can I learn from what this person did or said? How do I deal with this situation in a pleasant and beneficial way for both of us?" Have you ever sat and been an observer? I'd love to encourage you to do that this week. It is fascinating when you pay attention while a conversation is in progress. What dynamics are occuring? Who drives the direction of the discussion? How might you provide clarity to or change the direction? How can what is being examined be used beneficially for yourself or the other participants. I don't know about you, but when I undergo something that truly upsets me, I don't want it to reoccur. I don't want to magnetize those types of people back into my life. I also am convinced that every time you rehash the same old dialogue, everytime you reveal what he did, she did, they said, it forces you right back to that point in history. Your body comes face to face with all the same emotions and physical reactions as it did originally. Why waste another day of your life, or another minute of your life experiencing something that made you tense or unhappy? When you find yourself where the situation is less than ideal, pay attention to the details. Don't react. Respond instead and see if you can't investigate a way to eliminate these types of things in the future.
